These replaced stub ports should stay around for a year to facilitate upgrades, yet should not cause every build of every p5-YY port to be perceived by the buildbot as a failure during that time (which is what would happen if the replaced stub ports are subports of the p5-YY ports). I suggested in another context earlier that we could have a single port whose sole purpose is to define subports for each of the currently-existing p5.XX-YY ports declaring them to be replaced by the corresponding p5-YY port. That port wouldn't need to be touched after being initially set up, so there would be only one buildbot failure report and updates of each p5-YY port can proceed unimpeded.

If a p5-YY port contains:

subport p5.12-YY {
    replaced_by p5-YY
    PortGroup obsolete 1.0
}

then the buildbot will report a build failure for the p5.12-YY subport. etc.
